The first Annual General Meeting for the University Health Network occurred on September 15th, 1999. Series includes the contents of a binder labeled “Annual General Meeting Minutes Jun 1947-2005”. This binder included minutes of the University Health Network’s Annual General Meetings (1999-2005) as well as the minutes of the Annual Meetings of the Subscribers of its predecessor corporations The Toronto Hospital (1987-1998) and the Toronto General Hospital (1947-1986). The original purpose of these meetings was to elect Trustees. The annual meeting was extended to several meetings in 1947 and 1949 due to a lack of nominations. Minutes from September 17, 1997 are missing. Most minutes are signed originals.

Series consists of minutes, correspondence, historical records and photographs created or collected by the Archives and Historical Committee. Material from the Department of Medical Photography and files from the Public Relations Photo and Slide Library are interspersed within these files. Some of this may be due to the dual roles of Committee members, but in the case of files 2.8.49 to 2.8.57 they appear to be files borrowed by the Chair of the Committee. No attempt has been made to rearrange these files according to their original provenance.
